In the province, one of our wonderful afternoons are spent by enjoying a hot and sweet tasting camotecue. Though some might argue that it should only be called camotecue once there is stick holding together a serving of deep fried sweet potatoes with sugar, the name 'camotecue' has been adopted even without the bamboo stick.
I actually experienced planting the stalks of the sweet potato and even harvesting that one. And I tell you that the fun part is always the harvest time. In our place where the soil is a bit sandy after the top layer of the soil, the sweet potato grows on bigger terms. It is because the sandy soil is a bit loose giving more spaces for the root crop to grow bigger. And after harvesting those we can consume for a day or two, we would enjoy an afternoon with boiled sweet potatoes, camotecues, or grilled sweet potatoes.
When we prepare camotecues, we usually go for muscovado. Muscovado is an organic sugar and is a prized sugar for health conscious individuals. But in our place, muscovado is cheaper compared with all those processed sugar. Aside from the oil and muscovado, a teaspoon of vanilla extract would always make the food enticing to eat. The smell of vanilla alone would always attract even our neighbors. Hehe.
